The aim of this trip is to explore Troy and the Troad following in the footsteps of Homer and seeing how the fame of war and the work have marked the landscape of this region over the centuries. We want to offer the possibility of becoming intrepid adventurers and explorers for a few days in search of the Homeric topography. This means that, on the trip, we will not only visit sites and see monuments, but we will also explore the landscape, rivers, hills and coast to discover the literary reality that has enchanted so many thousands of people over the centuries. However, the Troad is not only Homer. Located at the entrance to the Hellespont strait, the current Dardanelles, at the point where you can cross with some ease from one side to the other, from Europe to Asia or from Asia to Europe, the region was also the scene of many more events that have shaped it. In the first millennium, the Greeks built colonies there to control the passage of the Hellespont and the entrance to the Black Sea in competition with the local populations already in the area, the Mysians and the Phrygians. Later, the inhabitants of the Troas witnessed the passage of the Persian troops on their way to Greece in 480 BC or, conversely, that of the army of Alexander the Great on his way to Asia to fight against Darius III. The passage of the armies then continued with the successive Hellenistic kingdoms that tried to dominate the area until finally it was Rome that took it and inextricably linked its history with that of the mythical Troy. Just at that time, a traveler who was crossing the lands of Asia Minor preaching the doctrine that had turned him into a new person also arrived in those lands and left his mark. It was Saint Paul, whose itinerary we will follow in reverse, since he came from the interior of Anatolia. And before Christianity became the religion of the Roman Empire, its main promoter, Constantine, was mulling over whether to build the new capital of the empire in the shadows of the Homeric city. Finally, he decided on another city, the ancient Byzantium, which he baptized with his own name, Constantinople. Constantinople will be our point of arrival and departure, since November 8, 2024 will be the 1700th anniversary of the laying of the first stone of the new city by Constantine, an event worth celebrating while exploring present-day Istanbul in search of Constantine's Constantinople. This anniversary is accompanied by another, the 1700th anniversary of the convening of the Council of Nicaea, the ecumenical council presided over by Constantine that changed the Christian faith forever. Considering that Nicaea is located in the eastern part of the Troad in Roman times known as the province of Bithynia, and later the province of the Hellespont, we have considered it appropriate to include it also in the trip, which in this way will cover the 2500 years that separate the Trojan War - if it really existed - and the council convened by Constantine.
